Right? AND they have Týra as a cousin

I’M AN AUNT NOW hell yeah! My career as Wierd Aunt can begin.

Street sign graphic announcing that Standard Reg for CB2026 closes on April 18, 2026. More information at combobreaker.org.

Standard Reg is ending soon.

I have a confession: I have never watched Girls, know nothing about Lena Dunham or what the show is about, and I don’t intend to change that. It’s not a stance it’s just like… I am busy and that entire situation seems like an enormous investment of brain/time.

Electoral College cartogram showing which states are in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and which ones could join in time for it to activate by 2028. Each state is sized and labeled according to its number of electoral votes. The states are spaced out enough to accommodate the changes in size but retain their general shapes and relative positions on the map. Current members are in solid orange, potential members are in light green, and nonmembers that are unlikely to join are in medium gray. Members have 222 electoral votes, potential states have 68, and the unlikely states have 248. The compact would only activate once states with at least 270 electoral votes have joined. The seven potential members and their electoral vote are Alaska (3), Arizona (11), Michigan (15), Nevada (6), New Hampshire (4), Pennsylvania (19), and Wisconsin (10). Democrats would need to gain the governor's office and/or legislative chambers to win unified power in these states, as detailed in the spreadsheet linked in this post.

NEW: Virginia just passed a law to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, giving it 222 of 270 electoral votes needed to activate.

Ha yep she replied on twitter! I crosspost some things since so many people are still there and not here yet.

You will be missed at CB!

What if there was an unofficial book club meet-up during CB where people got together and talked about books 📚 would anyone care? Do we dare combine the hobbies of gaming and reading into one weekend?

Glad to spare you from endless scrubbing

I just searched online with the make/model of my air fryer, or you can search by shape/dimension

Absolutely filthy

Why do people raw dog their air fryer when you can get dishwasher safe reusable silicon liners for those fuckers.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I’ve been playing Avowed. It’s cool. I really dislike Marius though he’s a bit of a wanker. Normally I tend to like or find the value in all followers in such games even grumpy ones but eh he’s kind of just lame.

I was explaining what a Synth is actually 😂

Not me gleefully lore-dumping about one of my hyperfixations (the fallout universe) at my husband like an unhinged madwoman during commercial breaks (yes it is me).

Episode 2 loving the clear demonstration of what a bunch of fuckwits the brotherhood of steel is.

Letting my kid run around in Skyrim, reading on my kindle. No context, no reason:

“I don’t trust mammoths.”

Okay 😂

Finally started Fallout S2, first 15 minutes already screaming crying throwing up doing the hand flappy thing telling my husband a dozen references from the games

A pine tree weeped sap all over my vehicle nooooo this is so fking annoying

Michael B. Jordan's acceptance speech for his first-ever Oscar.

“I know you guys want me to do well and I wanna do that cause you guys bet on me. Thank you for keeping betting on me and I’m gonna keep stepping up.”

That is amazing and the one exception, agree. Wholesome.

I have no idea!

My husband has never in two decades made a single god damn “ball n chain” joke about me or our relationship and frankly what the fuck is up with women tolerating a man acting like he doesn’t like them? How is that funny? How are y’all still doing this in 2026?

THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE LIKE LUD IN ICE DETENTION.

You do not have to stop finding small ways to resist when he is home.

BREAKING: WE DID IT!!! LUDOVIC IS COMING HOME!!!

The judge, clearly moved by 20 people turning up in person alongside 20 online, ruled entirely in Lud’s favor with low bond.

Update to come when he is home. The team is optimistic about his hearing in May.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
